Facts of the Case
Background
Five public prosecutors who were executive committee members of Zimbabwe Law Officers Association (ZILOA) participated in a work stoppage in October 2011. The Attorney-General demanded written explanations for their conduct, which they refused to provide individually. The Attorney-General then withdrew their authority to prosecute and referred them to the Public Service Commission for further processing. The applicants challenged this action as unlawful and unfair.
